AVAULABILITY OF SPANISH CORPORA AT UAM A list has reproduced a message expressing doubts on the availability of our corpora (spoken Peninsular, written Argentinian and written Chilean) for anonymous ftp users a LOLA@LLLF.UAM.ES As both Fernando Sanchez and myself have been receiving queries about the truth of that statement, I beg willing persons to redistribute the following message to any interested list: All three corpora are still available via anonymous ftp in the Laboratorio de Linguistica Informatica at UAM (Universidad Autonoma de Madrid). If you have had troubles with getting any of them is because they reside in a small SUN computer that is used for heavy processing and the number of anonymous visitors is very restricted in number. Unfortunately, the ftp software does not report this fact and some visitors tend to leave open connections for days. Anyway, frustrated ftpers should try to mail us ({fernando,fmarcos}@maria.lllf.uam.es) explaining their difficulties before posting a message to a list. Please, try again, as there is only one visitor at the moment (Wednesday, 12 9:50 a.m. Spanish time). The easiest way, however, is trying HTTP://WWW.LLLF.UAM.ES/ or my personal page, as at the bottom of this message, and go to our ftp services. Francisco A.
